Posts: 713 WA, ID, MT | Trappin' out solo is where you wanna be! With practice it will become effortless and natural. So even though it feels spooky now, force yourself to get out there. A small lake will give you lots of practice going in and out. Do whatever is necessary to give youself secure footing, carpet or non skid of some sort where your feet spend the most time. I find neoprene booties really helpful for traction. Eventually you'll be looking for a properly placed footstrap for the ultimate security. Being totally comfortable on the wire, while artfully controlling the windward hull's altitude, is one of the greatest feelings I know! Same league as carvin' up deep and steep powder! Stick with it, it's so worth it!
